I've never had a problem with these birds doing their thing on my car. I have thought about it though and decided if they start crapping on my car then I will quit feeding them. The finches don't really bother me though what bothers me is black birds crapping on my white truck in August right around blueberry season.

For me...It's not the Finches that are the problem...It's the thistle seeds that fall to the ground and grow!!! This reminds me, the next windy day I have to sneak outside and break the wifes feeder and blame the wind!!

I like the grey one. I'd take either but if I had to pick it'd be grey.

How I spent my weekend:
What we started with
<a href="http://s367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/?action=view&amp;current=bigflowerbedbefore.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/bigflowerbedbefore.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The smaller one we did Saturday (The wife's Edge in the street)
<a href="http://s367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/?action=view&amp;current=flowerbedwithEdgeinbackgr ound.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/flowerbedwithEdgeinbackground.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The flowers
<a href="http://s367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/?action=view&amp;current=SmallFlowerbed.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/SmallFlowerbed.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>


Finished!
<a href="http://s367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/?action=view&amp;current=finished.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/finished.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

One more with the truck in the background
<a href="http://s367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/?action=view&amp;current=doneshowingthetruck.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo114/blt4dtuff/doneshowingthetruck.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The small bed was 5 feet on each side, the larger one was 8 x 6. I had to dig a trench all the way around them, through many a tree root.
